Exactly. To illustrate, my wife and I were watching Toy Story 2 last year on Disney+ when our internet kicked out. We put in the blu-ray and the side-by-side comparison was insane. Everything was so much crisper because we didn't have to deal with refresh rates and buffer speeds. Even with the best internet, you're still not getting the best picture streaming. I would say this helps prove his point, but he's not talking about blu-rays and older movies, he's specifically talking about first run streaming.
You're always going to have a better picture when not streaming and that is a clear advantage to theaters.

Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.
Your statement was that theaters having better picture and quality sound quality than home theaters is "20th century" isn't just speaking to your own personal experience(which is dubious at best and difficult to support and to be taken seriously) it's a statement about a much larger group. And if you had actual facts to back up such a claim it would be something people could engage with you on...but you don't have anything to support your claim which is why you simply get called out on saying ridiculous stuff.
Here's the obvious problem there...
What you posted?
It inevitably leads to -
A single person seems to care about how explosions are equalized...
Is that person essentially a needle in a haystack when it comes to if streaming is putting a dent in the business that theaters do?
All this is what is called nitpicking. How come you guys don’t say what you believe about the future of theaters, instead of attacking my beliefs? That’s doesn’t add to the discussion. But the statement about I’m not just speaking to my personal experience is weird, because I can only speak about my personal experience and I can’t speak for someone else’s experience. But even if I was speaking for the majority as someone said earlier, who cares and why is it an issue anyway.
On another note: I remember a time when the norm for second weekend office dropped 45% to 55%, now the norm is close to a 70% drop.
It's not nit picking...it's a basic statement about how flawed your comment was. And who cares about if you were speaking for the majority(which you were)? I mean if you think we should just be able to lie through our teeth with out any kind of rational thinking behind our points and that's how you think a conversation should be held then you have a very strange view on how discussions should work.
